Could somebody please clarify for me . Retirement visa ….. is it both 800,000 baht AND 65, 000 monthly income, or is it one or the other ?

Hi all, I would like to stay in Thailand for seven months. Normally I would just do 2 visa runs (🇧🇷 gets 90 days) but last year when arriving at BKK they told me next time I must get a proper visa rather than just use exemptions.

So I will get a Non-Imm-O/retirement. I’m 50+ and have 800 kilobaht in a Thai bank already. I have 2 questions:

1) My understanding is that I can’t just leave during my extension period, but must go to Immigration to have it canceled. What is the procedure and requirements for that?

2) Since I'm leaving early, do I need to show Immigration that I have correctly kept the 800k (3 months) / 400k (afterwards) in my account for the required post-extension period?

I do plan to come back to Thailand long term in the future so I don’t want any black marks. Thanks for any input!

Hello

We need help with the Non Immigrant O Marriage Visa, since we keep running into different information and can't find a legit source.

I am thai citizen and my fiance (U.S citizen) is already here in thailand with the tourist visa. We are going to register our marriage next month. After that, we want to apply for the Visa.

Confusing to us:

1. some sources claim that we need

- proof of income

AND

- X amount of THB on an account

some sources say we only need one of these requirements. What is true?

2. How do we prove the income? Does it has to be a bank statement with his name or can it be the bank statement of my name (the income gets transfered to my account, because he can't open an account without visa).

Would it even be possible to prove it with a letter from his employer?

3. We are not sure if/how we are able to apply with him being here already. On the website it seems we can only apply from abroad.

We would appreciate any kind of help and support! Thank you!

DTV is non immigration O visa ?

I heard to opening bank account, Thai driver license in Bangkok require Non immigration O.

If you live with partner at her house and you do renewal visa what proof do you need if any apart from TM30

VISA FROM THE NETHERLANDS:

We are german living in the Netherlands travelling for 71 days. Both retired. My income is enough to apply for the non-immigrant O visa. My husband doesn't fulfil the requirements.

So is my income enough for us both or which options do we have? We have already booked our return flight for day 71.

Hello there.

It has been a while - five years since we ended our six months in Thailand, six months in the US routine.

I will be traveling to Thailand next month using the 60 day visa exempt option to join my Thai wife who arrived last month and we will depart to the US, together, prior to the 60 days ending.

We are considering returning to our six month/six month return next fall, and realize that things have changed. Previously I would get a non imm o-a visa each year through the LA Thai Consulate - it was straightforward and worked well.

Now I see that mandatory medical insurance has been added to the mix, and as a 74 year old guy, while not a deal breaker, it ain’t cheap.

It seems like the only alternative is to spend 90 days on each visit.

Does this fine group have a solution for me? I am not interested in border runs etc - I just want to get to Thailand each year and enjoy life.

Thank you for all you do.

Hi, just double checking something quick. I'm like 20k baht short for my Non-Immigrant O due to the horrible exchange rates currently, so I'm forced to do another border run.

I've only done one border run this year which I extended by 30 days and then another 60 days under "family extension" (my thai wife). I should still be able to do another border run, despite this 60 day family extension I've done, right?

I want to apply for a 90 day Non Immigration O Visa based on retirement from the UK. There are two things i am unclear about.

First , I will submit confirmation of receipt of my employment pension. Is that acceptable?

Second , do I need to submit evidence of insurance for the 90 day period?

Any answers please

I’m an Irish male 67, with a non immigration O single entry (with “retired” remark) eVisa obtained from Thai London embassy (they also issue for citizens of the Republic of Ireland in recent years). Background; I have a long term Thai gf (>18 years together.. we are not married. I stay at her house in Korat).

A couple of questions relating to an upcoming trip in Nov:

1. Can I extend this visa at an internal immigration centre or do a border run with ease and return for 30 days as a tourist (no visa needed?) just prior to the evisa expiring?

2. Following that extension or return in Point 1, I need to go to Australia for a few weeks.

3. What are my options to return to Thailand again for another ca. 55-60 days before returning home to Ireland next April/May? E.g. Apply for another 90 days eVisa whilst in Australia (as if I was applying online from Ireland) OR enter again as a tourist (no visa needed?) for 30 days and extend it internally for another 30 days.

I guess I’m wondering are there any limits to the number of tourist entries and / or extensions one can get per entry in a single calendar year that could trip me up?

I would effectively be seeking to stay ~90 days, then ~ 30 days, and then on return from Australia another ~60 days before finally returning home to Ireland.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
